This is a list of [[movie theatres]] in the city of [[Mumbai]], [[India]]. Mumbai has long been associated with films, with the first film being displayed here in 1896 by the [[Lumière Brothers]]. It thereafter became the centre of India's [[Hindi]] and [[Marathi language]] film industries, with the former often dubbed as [[Bollywood]]. The first cinema opened in 1913. Mumbai has many cinemas catering to a large and [[Multilingualism|polyglot]] population. Cinemas often serve as major landmarks in the city and define the neighbourhood. Most of the cinemas in the city are one-screen halls, but in recent times these have been giving way to large multiplexes. <br />
<br />
Recently some cinemas, (often interchangeably called "theatres") have been forced to shut shop due to the high entertainment tax (which stands at 55%), that results in huge losses. Since 2000, 50 cinemas have shut down in the city. <br />
